What our clients say

decontamination and biohazard cleaning services reviews
Kim Otto, Chicago, 2/1/2025
From my first phone call Brian was a pleasure to deal with despite the difficult circumstances of a residential clean up. He was professional and still warm and understanding. The crew was the same way. They were prompt in responding to any inquiry and were worth every cent of their fee and then more.

Brian and Dominic are professional, honest, and a hardworking team. We had to have my parents home cleaned out to sell in Niles. They were able to put us on the calendar within a week and the personal responsiveness and follow up was exceptional. Happy to recommend this team to anyone that needs a clean out! Thanks, Judy

Mimi Haze, Chicago, 9/1/2025
Brian and his team helped my family take care of a tough cleaning job during a medical emergency. Brian was so kind, understanding, and quick to respond. The price he quoted us was far more affordable than other companies we had look at the place. Him and his team were super hard working and did a great job! Thank you Brian and co for all your hard work!
